Ahhhh, my Axis PBEM compadre Xin. In the short time that we talked during the game, I came to recognize this guy's game. He plays for real! If there is a weakness to be exploited, Xin'll find it and let tear with no remorse. Badass. Simply great.
Although I can rarley duplicate his masterful play using his guidlines, he literally presents the best way to win.
His mind opperates on a different level than mine, and I can only stand in awe at what he can do. Read the story thread from our old PBEM if you have any doubts.
I may sound corny, but Xin is da man. His RF strat is very precise and, from my experience with the scen...very thorough. Though I could never manage some of the things, like killing off Finland with 'spare' T-34's in the opoening months.

Yes, Xin Yu is a very excellent strategist. I would someday like to play a game with Xin Yu, either as an ally or enemy. No one has played a PBEM game with me yet, though. Soon, though... soon.

There in an error in my strat for RF which I am aware of only after submitting it.

Refugees should build cities next to a German or Finland city then the city can be disbanded to build a NONE engineer unit. Afterwards transporters can ship them to the back. I forgot to mention it in the strat.

Forgive my ignorance Xin but I can't see what's to stop the Germans from destroying the city before it can produce an engineer.

[Xin Yu]

During Winter planes have no use and land units' move points drop. Block roads and use natural high move-cost terrain to help you. You'll have a good chance to avoid destruction.

Caution: If you put down several cities at the same time, they may get closer to one another then to any of the German cities.

I see. Very clever Xin! I've got to give it a go next time I play Red Front!
